Postdoc Position on Perovskite Solar Modules
Empa - Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology
Dübendorf, Switzerland
The Laboratory for Thin Films and Photovoltaics is well known for its innovative research in the field of inorganic and organic-inorganic hybrid thin-film photovoltaic and battery technologies. The Laboratory holds the world record power conversion efficiency of flexible CIGS and all-perovskite tandem solar cells.
We are looking for a motivated postdoc with a strong experimental background in materials and chemistry to develop high-efficiency flexible perovskite solar cells and mini-modules using slot-die coating. You will be embedded in a collaborative Horizon Europe research project, which will enable you to interact and collaborate with European academic and industrial partners.
Your tasks
- Development of slot-die-coated perovskite absorbers on both glass and flexible substrates;
- Establish a high-throughput characterization platform to evaluate the homogeneity of layers deposited by scalable methods;
- Fabrication and characterization of solar cells and mini-modules using various techniques, including stability tests;
- Identification of loss mechanisms in solar cells and mini-modules and developing mitigation strategies;
- Responsibility about fabrication and characterization equipment;
- Dissemination of results in peer-reviewed journals and international conferences;
- Support the administration of the European project, including project meetings and project reporting;
- Co-supervision of PhD and master students;
- Assistance in writing research proposals.
Your profile
- PhD degree in Material science, Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, or related fields;
- Willingness to conduct independent, interdisciplinary research in the field of perovskite solar cells;
- Experience in slot-die coating is advantageous;
- Ability to work in a collaborative team environment towards a common goal;
- Proficient English is required, and knowledge of German is of advantage.
